This May Not Be the End of the World Songtext

von John Mellencamp

Please be quiet, everyone's asleep
Stella's locked her door and she's requested some peace
She teaches the English at the American school
She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule
She says it磗 hard to worry about the future
When your past is knocking at your door
Sweet mistakes and information
Have been her lovers before

CHORUS:
Hello all you losers
You磛e got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here

She runs the motors and the music
On the carousel ride
She catches the children on the horses
As they fall through the rye
It磗 hard to see the future
When your back is bending over your shoes
It磗 hard holding on to nothing
When you磛e got nothing to lose

CHORUS:
Hello all you losers
You磛e got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here

I guess you heard about ole Pee Wee We had to tear his playhouse down
Then they put him in the electric chair
We磍l have some fun now

When you see her, give her some compliments
On her looks
She磍l be wearin' a Mardi Gras dress
Coming after you with words and books
We磛e given you the best seats in the house
So don磘 be late
St. Peter is at the door
And he ain磘 no man to wait

CHORUS:
Hello all you losers
You磛e got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here

Hello all you losers
You磛e got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here
